Fruit Roll-Ups

An ode to Fruit Roll-Ups

By Joe PattersonPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

When this tasty snack calls my name I gotta show up.

I eat a million and one of them before I start to throw up.

That might not happen. Worse case? I just blow up.

Life is not life if don’t have some fruit roll ups.

Some think it’s candy, but it’s more of a sweet snack

When I see them in the snack isle I tell myself I need that.

When I was a little kid I loved them a bunch.

The best times was when my mother used to put them in my lunch.

Here’s some advice for anyone who wants to cheer Joe up.

You can accomplish this by giving me fruit roll ups.
